Blue Note, New York, Count Basie Orchestra, 6.11.07




首度去NY, 你想盡辦法訂了Blue Note, 而我們還是七早八早去排隊, 領著個心不甘情不願的小毛頭去聽Bebop....後來再去的幾個地方, 前衛村Village Vanguard, 甚至是Jazz at Lincoln Center, 都沒Blue Note的水準, 以及近距離

除了老牌Jazz團, Blue Note 絕不吝惜推薦新秀

William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984) was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. Basie led his jazz orchestra almost continuously for nearly 50 years. Many notable musicians came to prominence under his direction, including tenor saxophonists Lester Young and Herschel Evans, trumpeters Buck Clayton and Harry "Sweets" Edison and singers Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams. Basie's theme songs were "One O'Clock Jump" and "April In Paris".
